Stone, Joss - Governmentalist Lyrics
(Don't you dare)
Interrupt the White House ball
(We're living scared)
It's in foreign fields the soldiers fall
Snatch 'em in their prime
Go ahead that's fine
That's fine
Just go drill for grease, yeah
Like a diamond thief, yeah, yeah
Their mamas will be alright
Just give 'em time
Go get your money right
You won't lose no sleep tonight
Nominate your kids
I think they'd prove your theory right
Would you watch them die?
Like tryna get a hold of smoke and water
Coming up with nothing every time
How come we ain't getting any closer
Tryna find the truth behind the lies?
(Look up, look up)
See a dead man walking
(See his baby face)
Hey, let's duplicate a few
Ooh, ooh, ooh, la, la, la
That don't mean much to you
(If you need some help)
Send some hippies in to help
You think more than you do
Hows about another line or two
To pick you up , pick you up
While your people drown, drown
I hope your happy
And you sleep so great at night
While the lovers cry
Like tryna get a hold of smoke and water
Coming up with nothing every time
How come we ain't getting any closer
Tryna find the truth behind the lies?
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
How many lives will you sacrifice?
Will you ever be satisfied?
If in God you trust, can't you hear him still?
I ain't no preacher but thou shalt not kill
Yo, check it
I'm praisin' the states and the streets I'm raised in
Pain is the perfume scent I'm sprayed in
It clash with the federal agents fragrance
I smell a pig, that's a cop who's racist
I'm an ordinary project dude
I'm subject to genetically modified fool
That's FDA approved, mass produced
So you can tell a lie from the truth
Even though I'm fly in my tie and force suit
Le jet like a Concorde, swoop through the air
Then I land in my van, I'm cool
And I still stand with the Uganda youths
All the poor kids out in Moscow that live hostile
I ride for you when I ride with the top down
Listenin' to Joss' sounds, you see how that feel
I see these come with government seals
Open it, peek Nas getting' at his enemies
And the paragraphs are for similies
Governmentalists killed the Kennedy's
I heard that Joss Stone got the remedies
Governmental, confusion
Governmentalist, it's delusion
Governmental, confusion
A bunch of governmentalist, it's delusion
Tryna get a hold of smoke and water
Coming up with nothing every time
How come we ain't getting any closer
Tryna find the truth behind the lies?
And all that we're left with
Is a hand full of nothing
A hand full of nothing
That's all that I got
Hand full of nothing
Governmental, confusion
Just some governmentalist, delusion
Governmental, confusion, yeah
Governmentalist, it's delusion
Yeah, yeah
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

Brasil here.
big government programs are all scams. they're not intended to help, they're for the grifters who use the system for their own personal wealth/power. joss stone knows but most people are just sheep. #Libertarian
Even more relevant.
This Collabo is sick...🔥🔥🎤🔥🎤 they complimented each other so well...... give us more
This tune becomes more relevant every day.
she is the best in her era
One of my all time favorites
+Kym Sincere mine to just goes show u have great taste
Nas Nas Nas.
mange mon chibre
i think you're right, girl !! and you have a mighty voice !
Joss Stone pretty much sums up what a lot of young people are feeling when looking at their governments right now. (Especially in the United States where citizens are feeling this way about congress these days...irregardless of what side of the aisle...)
At the U.N.'s NEXUS Youth Summit a baby boomer bemoaned that after interviewing random 20-40yr olds, he'd found it bittersweet that while all were eager & immensely dedicated to make a positive change, & deeply involved in doing so via for-profits, investments, philanthropy, activism,etc....next to no one had any confidence in politics as being a way to do so w/out significantly sacrificing morals/ethics. I told him he shouldn't be surprised:in fact there was a song on the subject....this one!

huMM Yeah - Like a dimond thief! ;)
I am far away from this culture but I think music is definitely Universal :) I love it and her voice, is much more powrful than adele's...
War is a racket
She was soo underated.. such a talented and soulfull artist. I'd trade today's shitty tunes called "Music" for this anyday
:-)

@bigboy5655 Lol have you even listened to even one album from nas or common...smh do your homework before you try dissing legends
so so cool :D
@hizbawite... These are words written by a 20 yr old girl from the UK. If you happen to agree with her, that's lovely. You're entitled to your opinion, and I mine (the key word here being OPINION...) In politics, there is no universal truth... But there are plenty of opinions..
@hizbawite... Truth?! Really? Do me a favor, get an education ...
REALLY not into artists bashing political figures, but this song ROCKS!
@bigboy5655 haha so funny how much people think they know about good music and good musicians. Guess they grew up listening to what they think is hip-hop but is more like pop music. This is some nice stuff tho.
@bigboy5655 That's sad you talk bad about Common when you've probably heard less than 1% of his music. Do some HW before you speak.
Joss Stone is the real deal. I wish she got as much play in the US as talent deficient hacks like Lady Ga-bage.
BTW, the difference between NAS and Common (who was on her track 'Tell Me What We're Gonna Do Now') is about equal to the difference between herself and Lindsay Lohan. Hopefully all of her future collabos will be with guys worthy of her talent.
@hoopgirl245 then you must not like the "real" Joss Stone, cause this album is all her. She didn't let any executives tell her what to do on this album, all the others including the last one were all forced on her.
love u joss, defo buying ur album
last album was better to me but this 1's good too
